How would I know if they are on the hard drive or in WMP? I have no idea how to figure that out. I though everything is on the hard drive.
I don’t mess much with WMP, but most sane music programs let you see the location of a file in the database. Take one of your duplicates and see if:
- both point to the same file
- one of them points to a file that isn’t there any more (ie you moved or deleted the file but it’s still in the database)
- you have 2 copies of the same song in different formats (maybe wave and mp3)
- you have 2 copies of the identical file.
Many music programs have some facility to identify missing files so they can be cleared from the database, and some can find dupes.
